Charles Ray
Third Installation

December 2021—May 2023
Three sculptures sit in Room 8 of the Pavilions at Glenstone Museum.

In Room 8 of the Pavilions, Glenstone has on view the third in a series of rotating exhibitions by Charles Ray (American, b. 1953). Organized in close collaboration with the artist, the selections showcase Ray’s practice from early in his career to the present day, with four works ranging in material from concrete and steel to the hand-made paper used to realize a recent self-portrait, Return to the one (2020).
